As the population is rapidly increasing, human influence on ecology is becoming more and more destructive. Through habitat fragmentation, humans have increased the risk of starvation, or even death of a species. Habitat fragmentation, the seperation of a landscape into various land uses, leaves small habitat patches leftover for use by wildlife. However these small patches do not provide adequate food or resources for survival. Humans are putting a detrimental impact on ecology through agriculture, urbanization, deforestation, transportational development and even reactional activities. As the human population expands, more and more space is needed. However, as we manipulate the environment to feed our needs, we are putting the lives of other species at risk.
Actually, habitat fragmentation increases the amount of biodiversity in an area. Habitat LOSS lowers biodiversity. Habitat fragmentation and habitat loss are not the same thing. Fragmentation is simply the breaking apart of habitat. Habitat loss is the complete removal of habitat. Species can still survive (and some species even thrive) in fragmented habitats if the habitat fragments are close enough to each other. However, species can't survive if their habitats are completely cleared.
